Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 41,534,017, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 41,534,017 | |
| -1 | -41,534,017 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,534,017.
Example:
1 x 41,534,017 = 41,534,017
and
-1 x -41,534,017 = 41,534,017
Notice both answers equal 41,534,017
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,534,017 and divide it by 2:
41,534,017 ÷ 2 = 20,767,008.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,767,008.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 41,534,017 | |
| -1 | -41,534,017 |
Now, we try dividing 41,534,017 by 3:
41,534,017 ÷ 3 = 13,844,672.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,844,672.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 41,534,017 | |
| -1 | -41,534,017 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,534,017 ÷ 4 = 10,383,504.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,383,504.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 41,534,017 | |
| -1 | 41,534,017 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 37 | 49 | 217 | 259 | 739 | 1,147 | 1,519 | 1,813 | 5,173 | 8,029 | 22,909 | 27,343 | 36,211 | 56,203 | 160,363 | 191,401 | 847,633 | 1,122,541 | 1,339,807 | 5,933,431 | 41,534,017 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -37 | -49 | -217 | -259 | -739 | -1,147 | -1,519 | -1,813 | -5,173 | -8,029 | -22,909 | -27,343 | -36,211 | -56,203 | -160,363 | -191,401 | -847,633 | -1,122,541 | -1,339,807 | -5,933,431 | -41,534,017 |
